Braves vs. Phillies Prediction, Winner Payout, Over/Under – Sunday, April 19
For the last game of the series, Braves SP Grant Holmes (4.17 xFIP across 4 starts and 21.2 IP in 2026) and Phillies SP Andrew Painter (1.55 xFIP across 3 appearances and 14.0 IP in 2026) will square off on the mound.
Holmes became a full-time starter in 2025, and he was one of the more consistent pitchers in a Braves’ rotation that struggled with injuries. His slider is one of the best in the league, with batters posting a .196 xBA and a 53.3% whiff rate, according to Baseball Savant.
The Braves have had one of the top power lineups in the league for years, and that continues into 2026, as they rank second with a .472 xSLG.
The Phillies No. 2 prospect is having a great start to his MLB career. Painter is showing off his strikeout ability early, with two of three appearances going at least 5 innings with 7 strikeouts.
You could pinpoint the Phillies early struggles to their lack of offense. In a lineup that features former MVPs and silver sluggers, they rank 19th in barrel percentage (7.7%) and 13th in xwOBA (.323).
